I'm really upset with my new computer

[Rob2]

I can't even log in without permission errors, yet all the files in my 
home directory are rob.rob permissions.  I end up at the root directory 
where all homeless users end up

Nvidia video doesn't work.  I downloaded the latest binary from Nvidia 
and I don't know where it went on my computer.

I'm just having a bad day.  BTW Win XP is working flawlessly, just to 
rub it in.  This is Dell 8600 laptop.  I just needed to rant and 
complain.  It will get figured out in time.  I remember when I bought my 
 Sony laptop I had a whole crop of similar problems.

Got GeForce FX Go5200 working with NVIDIA binary

[Rob2]

I guess that means that FBSD ports aren't in sync with NVIDIA's 
binaries.  But I'm happy to get this beast running.  I have yet to 
benchmark it yet but this Centrino is supposedly marked like the 
Athlons- what you might get in performance is on the label.

Dell 8600 a bad choice

[Rob2]

It has a USB floppy and I haven't been able to get X to work.  I'm using 
 5.2.1.  Any hints are appreciated.

You have to provide a little more hardware information
such as graphics card and so forth.  Was your card
detected?  Also there are at least 2 dell 8600's the
laptop and the desktop/workstation.
FYI: its always better to provide more information
than needed rather than less info.

Thanks for replying.  The video card is a 32Mb NVIDIA Geforce FX Go5200 
Go card.  I guess NVIDIA hasn't release a binary for this one yet. Also, 
its a laptop.

Sincerely,  Rob.
